FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What file formats should I deliver with a logo?

At minimum: SVG (vector, scalable), EPS (print), PNG (transparent background, web), and PDF. Include full-color, reversed (white), and black-and-white versions of each.

Should I charge more for logos that will be trademarked?

The trademark process is the client's responsibility, but delivering a logo with trademark potential requires thorough originality. You can legitimately add a fee for a preliminary trademark screening and designing with distinctiveness in mind.

How many concepts should I include in a logo package?

2–3 concepts is standard. Offering more than 3 often leads to decision paralysis and more revision cycles. Position your packages around fewer, better concepts rather than volume.

How do I handle a client who wants endless revisions on a fixed-price logo?

Define revision rounds explicitly in your contract. After the included rounds, charge an hourly rate for additional changes. Most clients respect boundaries when they're clear from the start.
